Over 130 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

Even when floods can be anticipated, communicating their severity to the public is a tall order. Because flash floods are very localized, even neighborhood-level warnings may seem like false alarms to some residents, leading to what the journalist Zoë Schlanger has dubbed “ alert fatigue .”

A flash flood warning was issued by the NWS Fort Worth TX on Monday at 2:30 a.m. in effect until 5:30 a.m. The warning is for Johnson, Bosque and Hill counties.

Thousands of flash flood warnings have been issued across the country and the number of flash flood emergencies is near-record, too.

New flood warnings have been issued along the Guadalupe River in Texas less than two weeks after flooding killed more than 100 people.

Sunday morning recovering efforts were suspended in Kerr County due to heavy rainfall and a new flash flood warning issued for the Hill Country.
